Exactly. It's all about having it in the backend, in an easy to share format.

But what kind of facilities are we talking about?
For me, those catalog queries psql already implements. I don't think we should offer \d or whatever in the backend as
is,but the queries that \d uses should be a SHOW <object> away. 

Now this subthread is about having a hard coded facility or the full blown SQL atop.
